USU Jazz Nights to raise funds for Elite Hall
By Ford Rasmussen
A portion of the proceeds raised from Utah State’s Jazz Nights this year will go toward the Elite Hall restoration project.
Elite Hall was built in 1916 to serve as a dance hall for the residents of Hyrum, Utah.
Sean Anderson is a member of the Elite Hall Restoration Committee. According to him, the committee has been raising money for about a year, but “they still need a lot more money,” he said. Anderson hopes that enough funds can be raised within a year.
Anderson speculated that Jazz Nights will attract around 200 people to Elite Hall.
Elite Hall is recently gaining popularity in the public’s eye according to Anderson. “The community is using it more,” Anderson said. “In December it was booked every weekend.”
